'Tieton' Cherry Tree (Dwarf)
Prunus avium
Tieton cherries considered to be sweet.
This cherry is particularly large and juicy with a shiny dark red outside. It is sweet but not as much as, say, Spanish cherry cherries. The Tieton cherry is most comparable to the Bing cherry with both being a bit susceptible to cracking from the rain. The main difference, however, is that the Tieton cherry blooms earlier than the Bing. Both are self-infertile, but the Tieton can cross-pollinate with the Bing.
Remove broken, dead and diseased branches at any time during the growing season.
